I saw this little verse on a forum I belonged to many years ago and I remember making a card with a little box on the front for my mum. I filed the verse away in a safe place like we do and I must admit it had been forgotten till my latest clear out.
I'm hoping that these little boxes full of love will be popular at the Craft Fayre next Saturday. I'm going to buy some suitable wrapping paper today as my craft paper is a bit thick and hard to fold properly around the empty (whoops sorry full of love) box. I think you will be able to see the verse by clicking on the photo and enlarging, but I'll type it here anyway...
'This is a very special gift
That you can never see
The reason it's so special is
It's just for you from me.
Whenever you are lonely
Or ever feeling blue
You only have to hold this gift
And know I think of you.
You never can unwrap it
Please leave the ribbon tied
Just hold the box close to your heart
It's filled with love inside.'
Isn't that just so over the top lovely? My mum cherished hers and it sat on her dressing table for years. May even still be there.
As well as fundraising my box has to be for a few challenges too of course...
- My Time to Craft - for an extra special person.
- Crafts and Me - Friends and Family
- Secret Crafter Challenge - Include a quote (hope this little verse counts!)
- Our Creative Corner - corners (I know the corners on this are not wow in your face huge, but without them the box looked lacking so I reckon it's a case of 'feel the quality not the width' here).

Beautiful box Ann! Love the soft look of it.
I think it's a gorgeous box and lovely sentiment. A beautiful gift but I know I couldn't trust my lot not to open one and then tell me I was a cheapskate.lol

Oh Ann, this is beautiful. The verse says it all. My penfriend in Oz. had one from her very young grandson (with help from his mum) many years ago and every now and then (especially since her husband died last year) she takes it out of the drawer and still gets very emotional about it. A wonderful card and I'm sure your mum will love it.
love and hugs
